I plan on my next project being a '53 Victoria. I was just wondering.......... would people have put an Ardun-equipped engine in these cars back in the day? If not, what would be a suitable replacement for the kits flathead? I'll be doing it up as a mild custom........ Thanks for any answers....!!

Yep! Even got the album right.............. When I was a kid I had the "Countdown To Extacy" album, been hooked on Steely Dan since..........

Thanks, guys! Glad you like it.......... this is a good kit, the SBC engine is nice, I'm saving that for something else, and it comes with a set of 'big & little' Cragers.....

Thanks, Carl...! Yea, the rims are from the panel truck kit, and the tires are from the rat rod '29 pickup......

Here's the latest model that I have completed. I put the Caddy engine from the '49 Merc kit in it, some spots, and custom tail lights which are clearance lights from a '53 pickup.......... I really enjoyed this build, may do another soon... any and all comments welcome!

I always feel moved by the song "The Great Gig In The Sky"........ She really puts her heart into the vocals! "There is trouble in the forest, and the creatures all have fled, As the Maples scream 'Oppression!', and the Oaks just shake their heads"

Pink Floyd's "The Trial".........from The Wall album...

QOTSA, "No One Knows"........

You can also get Rustoleum clear from WalMart.......... it's an enamel, I used it on the last build that I posted here, an '09 Challenger.......

You could name it "ve-GO!" or how about "Mega Vega"..........

This one is Living Colour's "Cult of Personality".......!

After you copy the IMG code, try Ctrl+V to paste into your post....... that's how I have to do it..

Thanks, Guys....! I haven't seen much in the way of reviews of this kit, neither positive nor negative, but it's a really nice kit that goes together pretty easily.......

1) "Spring is here again, Reproductive glands....." 2) "After dinner I had ice cream, fell asleep and watched TV, woke up in my Mother's arms..." There is a theme here, if anyone catches it.......!

Thanks for the replies, Fellas! I plan on going mild custom with this one, already have some artillery wheels found (my favorite wheel for this era car), and have been doing my homework on the kit......... One more quick question, is there a stock seat available for the '37 Coupe? Not crazy about the "sculpted" seat that is in this kit. Thanks again.........!

You're right, Randy, The AMT '36 does indeed have a spare..... I just checked it out on Model Roundup. It's a rumble seat car, though. How incorrect would it be to put a spare on a trunk car?

For my next project, I want to build a '37 Ford coupe. I was browsing EBay and saw one with a spare on the back, but I think it was a rumble seat car........ Did the coupe ever have a continental kit? or was it just on the cars with a rumble seat? If it did, where can I find parts for one, Modelhaus?

Baby, baby, Why you dye your hair? Why you always keepin' with your mother's dare?

"Don't Take Me Alive" (I think that's the title) by Steely Dan........

Harry, I have that song on my playlist at Rdio.com..... The list is called "5 minutes or more...." It's got 21 songs on it, and they add up to over 3 hours of music!

In and around the lake, mountains come out of the sky, and they stand there...........

I looked at the Ross Gibson engines, and they are also 1/25..... I figure it would be better to buy a whole kit for what one would pay just for an engine.......
